<P class="title">Switch <B>-ME[par]</B> - set encryption parameters<hr></P>

<p>Use -mezl switch together with <a href="HELPSwP.htm">-p[pwd]</a>
to create an encrypted ZIP archive using ZIP legacy encryption algorithm.
Without -mezl ZIP archives are encrypted with AES-256, which is more secure,
but can be incompatible with some older versions of unzip tools.</p>

<p>Use -mes switch to skip encrypted files when extracting or testing.<p>
